Look for at least +6.5 -7.0 Points for NE; and +3.5 -4.0 Points for SF.

Note: My place of birth is about a 45 Minute Drive from the Patriot's Gillette Stadium and Home Town less than 15 Minutes.

I hate this nonsense. Peyton played with a subpar team in Indy for years. Without him, I'll bet Indy makes the playoffs, 3 or 4 times, maybe. With him, they made the playoffs for, what, 14 straight years? The Indy defense was never very good and after edge left there wasn't a running game to speak of. Also, the patriots are cheaters so that might have something to do with Manning's lack of success against them in the early 00's.

They didn't actually cheat. They did exactly what every team does but the video placement was illegal... It hardly gave them an extra edge.

However, I would say manning and brady are akin to apples and oranges. Peyton Manning is the best pre snap evaluator and strategist in the game and Brady is clearly the best QB possibly ever when it comes to reading a defense after the snap and reacting quickly with great accuracy... two different play styles that probably stem from coaching and development throughout their career.

I did have Seahawks down on my excel sheet but I guess on the 13th I went with the 49ers on my post because I used my IPhone and forgot to look at my picks, lol.

So this is what I got and the rule is the persons:
----------------------------------------------------------
USArmyParatrooper: 6 Broncos, 49ers
Grampy Bobby: 5 Broncos, 49ers
MoneyManMike: 4 Broncos, 49ers
----------------------------------------------------------
Trev33: 5 Patriots,49ers
RBHILL: 3 Patriots,49ers
----------------------------------------------------------
darvlay: 4 Broncos, Seahawks
----------------------------------------------------------
MISTER CHESS 2 Patriots, Seahawks

*******For the Super Bowl the RULE is whoever is in the lead post there Pick and Points last AND no looking at others picks to make your picks and points please, everyone************* These two people will be USArmyParatrooper and if the Patriots win Trev33.

Tie Breaker is overall points of the Super Bowl, Must NOT go over max points. If Both People do then it will Closest to max points.

For the benefit of whom it may concern just say the word when it's time.

P.S. Bet your wife would be in contention if she was competing. lol

Only 2 of us can win outright with GB and Darv being able to tie for first. Think anyone in contention should PM their pick.

I'm on record picking the 49ers to win the wild card round in a different thread, I also picked the colts but that was more ambiguous wording. However, if I was awarded the one point for the Niners game it would make this race a lot more interesting with me having a Cinderella chance to win.

McFly just came by and said that it's going to be the 49ers vs Patriots in the Super Bowl. He wouldn't let me know who would win though🙁.

Two games this weekend will prove to be as entertaining as the super bowl;
often over-hyped super bowls are a let down except for the ads. (imo)
